2. Chemical Facilities Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS)
Of the 3 major areas of activity; this briefing focuses on Field Operations:
Development of the Regulation and supporting tools, rules, guidelines, etc.;
Development of an organizational/program structure to include Field Operations that can implement the Regulation; and
Development of administrative structures that are necessary to support the regulatory environment established within the sector.
The organizational structure leverages existing DHS capabilities including FPS, USCG, and S&T capabilities.
FPS personnel and expertise comprise the core of the Inspections & Enforcement Branch (I&EB).
The regulatory structure will strike a cost-effective balance between rigorous adherence to security principles and limiting the financial and operations burden placed on owner/operators.
Safety Considerations Out-Weigh Security.
Risk Transference.
Regulatory Framework comprises three (2) major areas:
Regs
Org
Admin
Reg apply Risk Based Performance Standards in which the facility operators determine countermeasures to meet the each Performance Standard.
Org Structure leverages expertise and capabilities of internal to DHS as possible, practical and appropriate – FPS; USCG as well as S&T.
The regulatory structure will strike a cost-effective balance between rigorous adherence to security principles and limiting the financial and operations burden placed on owner/operators.
Security measures at chemical facilities will never compromise safety measures
Chemical facility security risks will not be transferred to surrounding communities.

3. CFATS – Regulation Overview
The CFATS uses a multi-step process to:
Identify High-risk Chemical Facilities.
Assign High-risk Chemical Facilities to Risk Tiers.
Identify Vulnerabilities at High-risk Chemical Facilities.
Develop And Implement Site Security Plans.
Inspect Facilities to Ensure Vulnerabilities are Adequately Addressed and Verify Risk-based Performance Standards.
Step 1:
Trigger Top Screen (STQ)
Step 2:
Perform Top Screen
Step 3:
Receive Preliminary Tiering
Step 4:
Perform SVA
Step 5:
Develop Site Security Plan
Step 6:
DHS Review of Site Security Plan
Step 7:
Inspections/Audits
Step 8:
Implement Site Security Plan

4. Risk-Based Performance Standards
Performance Standards (6 CFR §27.230)
Covered facilities must satisfy the Risk-Based Performance Standards (RBPS).
There are 19 RBPSs in the rule, addressing the following areas:
Guidance for Covered Facilities
DHS will issue RBPS Guidance in the near future. This guidance will assist industry – not prescribe specific security standards – in meeting the RBPS.
Restricted Area Perimeter
Securing Site Assets
Screening and Access Controls
Deter, Detect, and Delay
Shipping, Receipt, and Storage
Theft and Diversion
Sabotage
Cyber
Response
Monitoring
Training
Personnel Surety
Elevated Threats
Specific Threats, Vulnerabilities, or Risks
Reporting of Significant Security Incidents
Significant Security Incidents and Suspicious Activities
Officials and Organizations
Records
Others as determined by DHS

5. Exemptions
This Act specifically exempts those facilities already covered by certain, specified Federal laws:
Public water systems (as defined by sec. 1401, Safe Drinking Water Act).
Any facilities owned or operated by the Departments of Defense (DoD) or Energy (DOE).
Facilities regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Water treatment works facilities (as defined by sec. 212, Federal Water Pollution Control Act).
Maritime facilities regulated by the Coast Guard under Part 105 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA).

6. Registration & Helpline
- DHS encourages facilities to register on the CSAT website for a user identification and password if they believe they may be covered by this regulation. To register, facilities should go to and follow the instructions. Once DHS validates a facility’s registration, DHS will notify the facility about how to access the other CSAR Tools.
Questions or Difficulty Registering with CFATS/CSAT?
- If you have any questions about how to register or have difficulty registering for CSAT, you may call the CSAT Helpline at from 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday thru Friday.

7. I&EB Mission Responsibilities
I&EB MISSION AREAS –
I&EB is responsible for conducting inspections of assigned chemical facilities against performance standards developed out of CFATS.
I&EB is responsible for executing compliance enforcement of CFATS.
I&EB is responsible for chemical security focused intelligence management.
I&EB is responsible for collaborating with chemical industry and federal, state, local and tribal officials to strengthen chemical site security through emergency preparedness.
I&EB is responsible for critical incident liaison to chemical industry and responding governmental emergency service agencies with a primary focus for determining security implications of the incident.

8. Phased Approach Impact on I&EB Activities and Resources
A Phased Approach Will Be Used to Implement the Regulation:
Phase 1 – Focus on expedited review and enhanced security of pre- identified highest risk (Tier 1) facilities and development of long-term DHS regulatory capabilities.
I&EB Field Inspectors Initiate and Complete about 50 Inspection Assists in Phase 1 by December 31, 2007.
Phase 2 – Full implementation of regulatory program; all high risk facilities not engaged in Phase 1 will be addressed, including inspection process.
I&EB Field Inspectors Work Toward Completion of Tier 1 and engage Tiers 2 – 4 commencing in January 2008.
Concurrently strengthen areas of Chemical Security Emergency Preparedness and Field Intelligence Management.
Could abbreviate text box to the following:
Allocate federal resources based on facilities with the greatest risk
Facility security requirements should be based on performance standards, with owners/operators able to determine the best way to achieve those standards
Recognize and build on progress already made by the private industry
Provide authority for national standards with preemptive effect
Protect against public disclosure sensitive or proprietary information

9. Phase 1 Implementation Approach
Purpose – Expedite assurance that RBPS is addressed at highest risk facilities by partnering limited DHS resources with Industry.
Facilities complete the CSAT Top-Screen within a reasonable but relatively brief period. I&EB Technical Assistance is available.
At the facilities request, I&EB Inspectors will be present when the facility develops the CSAT Top-Screen 
CSCD will begin certifying facility designated employees to handle Chemical-terrorism Vulnerability Information (CVI) materials. CVI is the new Sensitive But Unclassified information-handling protocol established under CFATS to protect information generated through the regulatory process.
Shortly after receipt of a completed Top-Screen, CSCD will notify the facility of its initial risk-based tier.
The Facilities will then complete a CSAT Security Vulnerability Assessment (SVA), in a similarly reasonable, but relatively brief period. I&EB Technical Assistance is available.

10. Field Inspections Primary Mission Structure
I&EB Inspector Cadre/Field Staff
Initial Cadre of experienced I&EB inspectors who have completed Physical Security Academy and are HAZMAT certified.
I&EB Inspection teams may be augmented by chemical engineering expertise.
Field Inspections will be integrated with I&EB Staffed Intelligence Section in HITRAC dedicated to Chemical Security.
I&EB Inspector roles and responsibilities vary based on facility tiering:
Tier 1 – I&EB Inspectors will Inspect Tier 1 facilities on a relatively short cycle – once every year.
Tier 2 –I&EB Inspectors will inspect Tier 2 facilities at least once every 2 years.
Tier 3 – Facilities will be inspected at least once every 3 years. These inspections may be carried out by I&EB and/or Third Party Inspectors.
Tier 4 will be inspected on a 4 year cycle..

11. I&EB Staffing Resources
